ahar-niśa vadane balaye kṛṣṇa-nāma tribhuvane advitīya caitanyera dhāma || 126 ||

ahar-nisa vadane balaye krsna-nama tribhuvane advitiya caitanyera dhama (126)

English translation:

(126) He chanted the names of Kṛṣṇa day and night. He was the abode of Lord Caitanya, incomparable within the three worlds.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

That Nityānanda was always engaged in chanting the names of Kṛṣṇa. Śrī Caitanyadeva has pervaded the three worlds on the support of Nityānanda. Śrī Nityānanda alone is the unparalleled effulgence of Śrī Caitanyadeva. He is like the blazing sun in dissipating the darkness of the conditioned souls’ ignorance of identifying themselves as enjoyers. Śrī Nityānanda alone is most expert in enacting the pastimes of rendering ten forms of service to Śrī Caitanyadeva. No other object may be compared with Him. Śrī Nityānanda is the backbone in manifesting the Supreme Lord among the living entities.
